Wasteland Nomads: Bionic Tumbleweed Sower System

developed

A passive seeding device designed to restore arid landscapes by mimicking the movement of tumbleweeds. It uses a hollow spherical structure made from lightweight biodegradable rods that roll with the wind across dry terrain. Seeds are embedded within a moisture-responsive outer layer that breaks down under suitable environmental conditions, releasing seeds into the soil. The device operates without batteries or external power, relying on wind and environmental triggers, and the biodegradable outer shell decomposes after seed dispersal.
